Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in Article 3, §13-607, are areas designated as shallow flooding. These areas have special flood hazards associated with base flood depths of one feet to three feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist and where the path of flooding is unpredictable and where velocity flows may be evident. Such flooding is characterized by ponding or sheet flow, therefore, the following provisions apply:
A. 
All new construction and substantial improvements of residential structures have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade at least one foot higher than the depth number specified in feet on the community's FIRM (at least two feet if no depth number is specified).
B. 
All new construction and substantial improvements of nonresidential structures;
1. 
Have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the community's FIRM (at least two feet if no depth number is specified); or
2. 
Together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities be designed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads of effects of buoyancy.
C. 
A registered professional engineer or architect shall submit a certification to the Floodplain Administrator that the standards of this Section, as proposed in Article 4, § 13-615A1, are satisfied.
D. 
Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes, to guide floodwaters around and away from existing or proposed structures.
[Ord. No. 41, 2-19-2013]
Floodways. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Article 3, § 13-607, are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters that carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential. The following provisions shall apply:
A. 
Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
B. 
If Article 5, § 13-621A, above is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article 5.
C. 
Under the provisions of 44 CFR Chapter 1, Section 65.12, of the National Flood Insurance Regulations, a community may permit encroachments within the adopted regulatory floodway that would result in an increase in base flood elevations, provided that the community complies with all of 44 CFR Chapter 1, Section 65.12.
